Since 2001 we have been observers of what’s happening at the checkpoints and in the Occupied Territories on the West Bank.
Thousands of our published testimonies provide independent, reliable accounts of the repression suffered by Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.
The reports are accessible from the following list. You may search all the reports by inserting the search word that interests you.
593 checkpoints and roadblocks are scattered throughout the West Bank (OCHA 2020), 23 of which are intended for crossing into the State of Israel and only nine are on the Green Line.The checkpoints to Israel serve more than 100,000 Palestinians living in the West Bank every day (mainly to get to work).

The shooting, killing and intimidation of Palestinians in the streets and in their homes is nothing new. They have been under threat and pressure of military and settler violence for years. The legal phrase that describes these actions is “creating a coercive environment” so that the Palestinians will leave of their own volition — and eventually collapse under this ongoing pressure.
The fact that the occupied West Bank is not controlled by Hamas means the Israeli-stated goal of getting rid of those “terrorists” fails to justify their actions. And this has not stopped them from increasing their military presence throughout the occupied areas.
This film delves into the current situation in the occupied West Bank as experienced by Palestinians, with a range of views from Palestinians and Israelis. It explores how life there, already difficult for Palestinians, is becoming unbearable as well as what is really at stake here for Israel and what long-term plans for the West Bank may be.
